MOS:FLAG
Just in case you missed a few of the salient points in the manual of style, I'll recap them here:
 * Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country or nationality – such as military units or national sports teams
 * The cities do not represent the countries, they are simply in them.


 * Words as the primary means of communication should be given greater precedence over flags, and flags should not change the expected style or layout of infoboxes or lists to the detriment of words
 * Your edits used only images, not the names of the nations.

Does that help explain things? We don't use flags on the English project to represent countries very often. I hope that explains why there are none there and none are needed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:25, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
